It's My Game
Funky Diamonds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will have the sunshine you the rain
I will have the joy and you the pain
You will see that I am doing well
Even without your love oh yea
'Cause it's my game it's my game
It's my game it's my game

You thought that you can hold me for a fool
But I've got news for you
(I won't take it anymore)
I'm tired of hearing your lies and your alibies
Baby I have learned
(And now our tables have turned)

You tought I was too blind to see
All the wrong and mean things you've done to me
But now I know that I will do just fine
Even without your love in my life

I'm gonna let you go
I'm gonna say bye bye
No matter if I'm hurt
No matter if I cry
'Cause now I've realized
That you're not here to stay
Baby baby baby baby baby

I will have the sunshine you the rain
I will have the joy and you the pain
You will see that I am doing well
Even without your love oh yea

I will have the sunshine you the rain
I will have the joy and you the pain
You will see that I am doing well
Even without your love oh yea
'Cause it's my game it's my game
It's my game it's my game

You thought I can't get over you
My life goes on with or without you
And now that I will never be the same
Baby you've got to learn two can play that game

I'm gonna let you go
I'm gonna say bye bye
No matter if I'm hurt
No matter if I cry
'Cause now I've realized
That you're not here to stay
Baby baby baby baby baby

I will have the sunshine you the rain
I will have the joy and you the pain
You will see that I am doing well
Even without your love oh yea

I will have the sunshine you the rain
I will have the joy and you the pain
You will see that I am doing well
Even without your love oh yea

Even without you
Even without you
I'm gonna say bye bye
(Oh yea even without you)
(Even without your love)
It's my game

'Cause it's my game it's my game




It's my game it's my game
It's my game

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Funky Diamonds's song "It's My Game" speak to the feeling of being in control of one's own life and emotions after a difficult relationship. The singer declares that they will "have the sunshine," or the good times, while their partner will "have the rain," or the hardships. They acknowledge that there will be pain, but they express confidence that they will be able to handle it on their own. The repeated refrain of "it's my game" underscores this sense of autonomy and self-possession.


The verses of the song describe a past relationship that was marked by deceit and hurt. The singer asserts that they will no longer be held back by their former partner's lies and misdeeds. They confidently declare that they are capable of moving on and thriving without that person's love, even if it means saying goodbye and enduring some sadness along the way. The singer concludes by reiterating the refrain, making it clear that they are the one in control of their own "game."

@maximiliandilella2411

Wer hat euch entdeckt?

@FunkyRulez

Der Manager Thomas Richter entdeckte die Funkys für Boombastic Music Berlin.
Die Funky Diamonds haben schon Ende der 1980er Jahre als Tanzgruppe angefangen, damals noch als "Diamonds" zusammen mit einem Mann. Ab 1992 haben sie sich in "Funky Diamonds" umbenannt und jede Menge Erfolge als Tänzerinnen gefeiert. 1995 entstand die Idee eine Musikgruppe zu starten. Kurz nach der Vertragsunterzeichnung kam es zu einem schweren Unfall und ein Gründungsmitglied konnte nicht mehr mitmachen. Erst ein halbes Jahr später starteten sie dann mit neuer Sängerin durch und hatten vorwiegend in Asien Erfolg. 1999 wurden die Funky Diamonds dann aufgelöst. Somt waren die Funky Diamonds Deutschlands erste Girlgroup die es lange vor den Spice Girls gegeben hat.
